This movie is one of my favorite Vivien Leigh movies after Gone With the Wind. Vivien Leigh is a less prolific actress, but a classic. A Streetcar Named Desire is the most depressing movie I've ever seen. I read the comments before that another translation of this movie is called "Peerless Beauty", and I think it does not live up to the name at all. The title refers to a compliment from Gone with the Wind Li Reid to Scarlett, emma is actually What a woman! The

beginning of the movie reminded me of the plot in "A Streetcar Named Desire", I thought it would be similar here Story, okay, no. At the beginning of the memory, I only think that this girl is very vain, everything is just to squeeze into the upper class, and she will say some posturing words in order to please others. But in fact, it's not quite the case, at least at that time she just wanted to marry Charlie, although she knew that Charlie was in debt (which proved that she was not so vain). Of course, she was young at the time. As she later said, in revenge, she married William Hamilton.

William Hamilton let her learn Spanish and French, and made her a perfect lady, but emma is just like the portraits and sculptures in his hands, just inanimate collections he loves, even tools.
Emma is very smart and capable, and immediately gained the queen's trust and became a celebrity in the royal family. The queen ordered that no one be seen, except her. When Nelson asked William for 5,000 troops, Emma easily asked the Queen for 10,000. She asked for 20,000 yuan, and finally gave her 10,000 yuan. During this period of negotiation, even Nelson said that it should be recorded in the military skills. What a woman! Emma really makes me admire to the ground. If she were a man, she would probably be a very good character. Especially after this incident, she deeply realized that she was an idiot about war, so she asked William to give her this knowledge. The love was born again. Moreover, I believe that it was her study of military and war knowledge that made her spiritual level rise to a higher level. She is no longer the vain little girl she used to be.

Five years later, when Nelson was annoyed at William for not supplying them with supplies (which would make them miss a good opportunity to defeat Napoleon), Emma took precautions and sent an order from the queen, like a gold medal. In fact, although the time here is very rushed, emma had to leave the warship immediately, but there should still be a close-up of Nelson, the expression of gratitude, admiration and admiration, which will make it less abrupt when he expresses his love to her later . Although everyone knows that the development of the plot will definitely be that they will fall in love, but the director's arrangement is not quite right. Of course, the origin of Emma's feelings for Nelson has a very good foreshadowing. From the first time she met him, she thought he was very serious, serious like she had never seen before, very different from other men; He was shocked by the one-eyed and broken arm. By the third time he asked her to write a letter for him, his praise for emma was revealed, and this was the first time that emma had received such a sincere and noble praise. That soft heart was touched. Before, maybe everyone only praised her appearance, and no one really knew her.

After the victory, Nelson did not go back to England or to find his wife, but to Emma. At first I thought he didn't come back to that country because of emma, he just went to report the war situation and so on, but judging from emma's mother's mouth that he kept calling emma's name after he was in a coma, maybe he was for her And go. Later, when he met Emma's mother for the first time, he also said to her, "Can I also call you emma?", a naked, lovely and touching indirect confession acridine! This is how much I miss my love and how deeply I feel that calling the other person's name is not enough, nor is it too much!

After Emma falls in love with Nelson, her soul rises again. First, she can give up everything she has now for love. This can be seen from later events. William was dying, her mother asked her to visit him, saying that otherwise she might not get a penny of the inheritance, but Emma said that she didn't care, she had her daughter, and the crystallization of her love with Nelson was enough.
Second, she could give up the relationship for Nelson's reputation. Third, when she was clearly in financial distress, she would rather participate in activities to earn money than tell Nelson. She wants to preserve her dignity in front of the people she loves. Fourth, when Nelson lived with her peacefully for a few years, one day a soldier came over and said that the country needed him and asked him to command a new war. At first, emma firmly refused. She said that Nelson sacrificed too much for the country. He needed rest and health, but in the end she didn't hide it and told Nelson about it because she knew him.

Emma, ​​who had already guessed Nelson's bad news, forced herself to embroider there, and finally fell to the ground.

Another bit of happiness for Emma is that she has a supportive mother. When she first learned that Charlie didn't want to marry her, her mother said it was okay, we emma are the most welcome wherever we go, and no one can match her daughter. When emma married William a few years later, her mother asked emma "are you happy"? She said that if you are happy, she will be happy as a mother. When Nelson was forced to leave suddenly and it was too late to say goodbye, Nelson sneaked to the balcony and was told by Emma's mother. Compared with Rose's mother who only had money in the eyes of "Titanic", she was really super happy La. ...... The

ending is unexpected, when the beggar woman asked emma, and then what? In fact, that's what I just wanted to ask urgently, but emma said calmly: There is no future. Yes, the male protagonist is gone, and the story is over.

However, it is conceivable that in those days, it was almost impossible for a woman to find a job to support her family, let alone a woman who had reached a certain age. And why does she need to support her family by herself? It's very simple. She has no actual relationship with him, and the state does not recognize this relationship, and will not give her any financial assistance or compensation.

So, in the end, she was reduced to the situation at the beginning of the movie.

But even if she can't avoid that ending, I think her life is rich enough to live in this world in vain. Didn't you see that girl who did justice and bravery listened with such relish?
And emma said to her: You are so kind to me.

"Mrs. Hamilton"--a
history of transformation from a country vain girl to a calm and elegant woman with flesh and blood , is also a bizarre love story between Emma and Nelson.

What a woman!
